I know Hodge and Mishra did. Their essay is also in the Williams and
Chrisman reader. They argue that with the hyphen, the term refers to
"oppositional post-cclonialism" and without refers to "complicit
postcolonialism" (H&C 284). Regardless of the hyphen articles, I still think
the best essay on forms/layers of poco is Anne McClintock's "Angel of
Progress", particularly for the undergrad classroom. Liz


>This might or might not be a correction. As far as I know, Ahmad
first made this argument back in 1995, in his article "The politics
of literary postcoloniality" (_Race and Class_ 36.3 [1995]), but
didn't distinguish there between hyphenated and non-hyphenated usages
of the term.
